Re: Ball bouncing out of the high Goal

I think FIRST should fix the high goal. They fixed the low bar because the field did not meet the intent of the games design. The fabric didn't keep the balls out of the court yard while still allowing robots to pass through. The intent of the chains is to stop the balls after being shot into the high goals. If the balls goes in one opening and out of another this seem to be a field design issue. I think logic dictates the purpose of the chains is to stop the balls. How hard could it be to add a few more chains or at minimum make sure the chains are not twisted before the match.
